VISUAL ART: Shanti Samsara

A feature video for the album Shanti Samsara composed by Grammy Winner Ricky Kej.

Video produced and directed by Fredric Ollerstam and Ricky Kej.

Shanti Samsara launched by Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi & President of France François Hollande at the United Nations COP21 (Paris) in the presence of UN General Secretary Ban Ki Moon.

Spearheaded by Grammy® Award Winning composer/producer Ricky Kej (India) and inspired by his conversation with the Hon’ble Prime Minister of India, SHANTI SAMSARA is truly a global endeavor featuring over 300 musicians including 12 Grammy® Winners from across the globe.

This album is a mental journey as much as musical one. In listening, we reflect not only on the subtle sounds of nature but our relation to them, and especially, our roles and responsibilities as children of Mother Nature. That is why Kej titled the album “Shanti Samsara.” The literal translation of the Sanskrit word “Shanti” means peace, but it has a broader meaning: peace, harmony, and equilibrium, in which we live in symbiosis with our surroundings.
